The Sprout channel may soon be unavailable to some DIRECTV customers. Sprout has been negotiating with DIRECTV for more than a year to renew their agreement at market rates consistent with their prior deal and at distribution levels consistent with other major distributors. Sprout does not support DIRECTV's decision to restrict access to their network, forcing their subscribers to pay more money to get Sprout. As a result, millions of families will no longer be able to watch their quality, trusted children's programming which has become an integral part of their daily lives. Viewers are urged to call DIRECTV through 1-866-9-SPROUT to demand that Sprout is returned to where it was on their lineup, and to make their concerns known at SaveSprout.com.
